LOL, no special filter or lens were used, just my Black Berry phone. Soon I hope to have a digital camera that I have waited years for but not yet made in large quantity $$$$$ - its a price issue for me. But it looks like they will in be main stream production in another year or so we should see them. Cannon, Nikon..... all make them now, camera's with a 28 MP or higher is what I am after.
